How benchmarksutra rates power tools: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Power Tool Score rates 8 power tools sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 15 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 15 November 2026). We did not test these power tools ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Power Tool Score works.

Buyer profiles
What we checked
We read each maker's own product page. Cordless drills are scored on hard-joint torque, top speed, chuck size, impact (hammer) mode and motor type; heat guns on power, top temperature, top airflow and the number of temperature settings. Retail listings are used only for the price, and the battery kit in each listing is named in the post because it changes the price. Missing rows are left out and the weights re-spread; a tool is ranked only if its maker states at least 4 of the rated items.
What we do not rate
Real drilling speed, battery runtime, heat-up time and build quality need tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results. Corded drills and rotary hammers are not in this round.
